still spirit bourbon staves are average. not much flavor in them.

i bought the 100g packets of ss bourbon staves, medium toasted french oak, american oak chips. i did about 5 1L bottles using them alone or in combination. I was AMAZED that they produced such different taste. so get a variety and have a play. you will find a favorite.
